The Hungarian fairy tale village: Erdőtelek

Erdőtelek is a small village in Heves county, one-hour-car ride away from the capital. This little town is a popular hiking destination in the Northern part of the Great Hungarian Plain, writes Femina.hu. The Arboretum, the Buttler Castle and the Erdőteleki Égerláp Nature Reserve are the most popular sights in the area.

Erdőtelek might be the ideal hiking destination during the summer, but it is definitely a place out of a fairy tale in winter when it is all covered in snow. While walking in the arboretum, you will feel like you are in a Disney movie.

The Arboretum

The Arboretum of Erdőtelek displays a variety of trees that are indigenous to Hungary. Visitors can see a wide variety of shrubs and evergreens spreading all over the 25.5-hectare-area of the arboretum.

There are a few types of trees that are meant to be seen in their spring or summer forms. However, there is plenty to see during the winter, such as Hungary’s tallest silver fir that is 3.5 metres tall, or the oldest Picea glauca Conica in Hungary that is a hundred years old.
